Episode 375 - Not An Oscar Winner by Formula 1 Podcast
It's been a big time for Formula 1 these past few days, we've had the launch of Brad Pitt's long-awaited F1 movie coming straight after a triple header (that we managed to miss, but RIP the Groundhog) and then heading to Austria for what promised to be a shoot-out at RedBull's home track.Well it didn't exacly pan out well for the team that gives you wiiings after all that (also Max didn't turn up to the movie premier in NYC either), but once again we saw a dominant performance from McLaren, who really have made THE car of 2025, leaving everyone else scabbling to pick up what they can from the race.This week on the podcast there's some of your thoughts on the F1 movie, with a couple of spoilers (but there's a timer so you can skip through them) and the ups and downs of an Austrian Grand Prix that started with a fire and kind of went on from there.Sorry for the radio silence again, between covid, flu (thought it was meant to be Summer right now?) and various festivals and gigs we've either all not been able to be in the same place or speak for what seems like months! To make up for it, we recorded an extra show this week for our Patreon subscribers, that you can listen to if you sign up hereIf you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there’s always a great crowd of people to watch along with. And on the socials weve got our Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky & Twitter (or is it X) and Paul’s attempts at Sim Racing on our Twitch channelEnjoy
Episode 374 - Right Thoughts Right Words Right Action by Formula 1 Podcast
Well if that was the last Grand Prix at Imola for the forseeable future, it didn't leave us with a sour taste in the mouth and while it wasn't a classic race it was still better than some of the parades we've had round the circuit for the last 5 years since F1 made a return there in the patched together 2020 season.This week we take a look back at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the first of 2 Italian races this season and the start of the European races to boot. Could McLaren and in particular Oscar Piastri keep up their dominant form from the first quarter of the season, now we're not flying away as much, or with the appearance of a few upgrades (as is traditional at this time of year), would we see more than the papaya cars in the mix?The answer was both sort of yes and sort of no as Max Verstappen spoiled the papaya party this week by completely turning around a RedBull that he wasn't overly keen on up to Saturday afternoon to pull out his most Max-like performances of the season so far. After "that move" on turn 2, there was seemingly no stopping him from running away with it. Especially when McLaren decided to let their drivers race rather than try to strategise a win!Obviously we're as tangent heavy as always (for some reason that you'll hear) and we've ended up with Franz Ferdinand as our featured band of the week (when did this become a music pod?) And as a bonus, while he's not here this week, Dan has promised to be on more shows this year!If you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there’s always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

Episode 373 - The Papaya State by Formula 1 Podcast
Florida is known for orange things, mainly oranges. But this weekend it was a slightly different shade that captured all the headlines in Miami as we saw a hugely dominent showing from the Papaya clad McLaren team at the Miami Grand Prix weekend. Taking the top 2 steps on the podium in both the Sprint and Grand Prix races showed that this season the comeback is fully on!This week on the pod we take a look at the Maimi GP raced round the car park of the Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Football Franchise (well that's what it said on the official F1 shirts anyway) where Lando & Oscar traded wins across Friday and Saturday with just about everyone else as an also-ran.There's the usual team by team review and look at what the F1 news is at the moment and what will probably come out after this pod's released (come on Tuesday, show us what you've got) with all the speculation from the aftermath of his lap 1 exit that we may have seen the last of Jack Doohan for now in an Alpine.Expect the usual tangents as well and also the return of Dan while Kieren is sunning himself touring the breweries of California!

Episode 372 - Jewel In The Dessert by Formula 1 Podcast
After the fairly restrained Japanese Grand Prix we needed a bit of a plate cleanser and that's exactly what Bahrain served up to us for out 2nd race in the Gulf this season. A dominant win for McLaren's Oscar Piastri , but eith more FIA based chaos hiding beneath the surface.This week on the podcast we look at the Bahrain Grand Prix which saw a huge number of technical gremlins strike several teams, and some very strange and late calls from the stewards, which ened up ahving a negative effect on a few driver's races. It all kicked off on Saturday when Nico Hulkenberg's best Q1 lap time was deleted during Q3, but the problem was he'd already taken part in Q2 when it turned out he shouldn't have actually got through, this had a knock on effct on Alex Albon, who should then have made the 2nd session with a car that team principle James Vowles claimed had th pace for Q3.It didn't get much better from there as we had timing failures, George Russell able to open his DRS manually and by mistake (when he wqas trying to use the radio) and who knows what else. As usual there's our team by team review and the expected sheload of tangents!If you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there’s always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

Episode 371 - Balls Of Fire by Formula 1 Podcast
That about sums up 2 of the 3 most interesting things about the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend. The other one was, of course, Max Verstappen's blistering Q3 lap for pole position. But there was fire aplenty at trackside and you've got to feel for Isack Hadjar after his seatbelts were causing him grief in what Top Gear would describe as "The Gentleman's area"This week on the pod we try and make up things to say about one of the dullest Japanese GP's we've had the pleasure of sitting through, it was the first race outside of Monaco where the top 6 on the grid were the top 6 by the end of the race and that stat would have gone further down the order had Lewis not passed Hadjar's Racing Bull to break the tedium (we're really selling this episode aren't we!)There are thankfully a few tangents to break the parade up and there's a great Is That Glock as well, so it's not all that bad!If you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there’s always a great crowd of people to watch along with.
